do a compression test on the valves to see if any are low. hopefully not a cracked head or anything as serious. does the engine temp run high or does cold air come through the vents when you turn the heat up?

You'll get a bit of oil in the cooler especeially if the oil level was a bit high as the breather goes into the resonator.
If the car is feeling a bit lacking it could be the turbine wheel on the turbo getting worn?? (im quoting what Ive just been told about mine)
Check your lambda sensor too.
You didnt say whether you turbo is noisey.....

Nowhere near you bud - If the Turbo is making too much whistle or your getting any kind of oscillating sound is what I mean chap.
Only about £200 posted there and back to get it reworked so could be worth it to get the pzing back to the car.

3 day turn around and did a proper job for me and my mates blowers.
Did you check the lambda sensor yet???

Just check that its intact on the sensor part itself and then check the voltage across it at the pins. There are a few threads on hear about what the volage / resistance etc should be.
